Readers: Digging for Hoffa's remains a waste of taxpayers' money

Some readers feel the dig for former Teamsters President Jimmy Hoffa's missing body is a waste of taxpayer money, according to comments made on The Oakland Press Facebook page.

Hoffa disappeared mysteriously in 1975 and numerous extensive searches have been conducted over the years to find his body. Following the latest tip, local and federal investigators on Monday began excavating private property along Buell Road at Adams Road in Oakland Township.

About 30 readers who responded Tuesday to a question on The Oakland Press Facebook page said they do not believe authorities should continue to search for Jimmy Hoffa's remains. Most denounced the project, saying that it is a waste of taxpayers' money.
